Title: Regarding buying unique slave girls on the market
Post by: bigz on December 22, 2009, 12:35:16 AM
I am not sure if this is a bug or it is supposed to be like this, but when I have a lot of non-random unique girls as slave in the charactors folder I can only buy part of them on the market, and after a while no unique girls will appear on the market even though there are still unique slave girls I have not bought yet.

You should be able to purchase all of your unique slave girls in the market.  You can double check that you have all of them by opening all of your .girlsx files in the WM editor and selecting "slaves only" in the filter.  Check that list against the girls in your brothel(s) and dungeon.  If you are missing some and can't buy them in the market, then it's a bug.

Yeah, some of the uniques are set to only be available through Take A Walk or kidnapping, IIRC. getting all the Uniques can be a long, painstaking effort, at least in my experience - 'cause there's always one or two hiding away waiting to be kidnapped or whatever.

Actually in my case I set all uniques to slave status so there are no unique girls to be kidnapped and no unique girls in catatomb. Theoretically all of them should appear ion the market, but after several weeks there are always random girls and previously owned random girls only apprearing in the market.

Ahh...I think I know what might be happening.  The market is bugged and treats previously owned girls as uniques, so they are taking up the unique slots in the market.  Buy them back and throw them in the dungeon.  Then either a) keep the unwanteds in the dungeon forever, b) "good" option: free the unwanteds and fire them (they won't show up in the salve market if they're free), or c) "evil" option: torture/rape/starve them to death in the dungeon (likewise, dead girls don't show up in the slave market).  Repeat the process until you get rid of all your previously owned random girls, then uniques should start showing up again.

Sounds like zodiac's found a Final Solution that works for him.

It's not a final solution - it's a workaround to get past the problem, assuming I guessed correctly.  I did note that the slave market is bugged...

I'm assuming he means 'Final Solution' in the sense that you're killing them off, not in the meaning of having found a fix to a problem.

Nice joke > 'Final Solution'
Well I tried both killing them in dungeon and freeing them.
However it seems after I get rid of these random girls I still cannot buy other unique slaves.
I have played a while after getting rid of them but so far no unique girls appeared.

Here you are.
Version is 129.4.6 and I added all girls mod I can find on this forum to the Charactor folder and changed the girls to slave status.

Aisaka Taiga

According to the save, there aren't any more unique girls in your game.  Did you add the others to your characters folder after you started this game?  If so, then either a) your .girls/.girlsx files are missing or corrupted, b) you added the new girls to an existing .girls/.girlsx file (the game only loads a given .girls/.girlsx file once, so if you update one the changes won't appear in games you have already started), or c) the mechanism that adds new girls to existing games is still broken.

If you've added girls since you started this game, try starting a new one and see if the missing girls show up.

Well it was a new game after I combined all old .girls file into a single .girlsx file.
I have attached the .girlsx file in case you need to look at it.

Well, I think I found part of the problem.  Somehow, you ended up with an invalid character at the start of the file, so none of the girls were being loaded.  I've attached a repaired .girlsx file for you.

Did you create the file manually, or did you use the WM editor?  Was allgirls.girlsx the only non-random girls file in your characters folder?

[edit]

re-uploaded the file.
